If I kept a logbook file, I'd do it using vi. Your favorite text editor should be more than adequate for this. (Though my Debian machines tend to be pretty close to stock; the only software on my laptop that's not either from a Debian package or in $HOME is an X server in /usr/local.) > Make a backup copy of the system files you touch. Better still, use RCS; Install the rcs package, then read rcsintro(1). (Again, though, this is something I don't generally do, though I understand why it's Good Practice (TM). I do use version control for my Emacs dotfiles, if that makes things better.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
